To calculate what a $1,000 investment in Netflix stock ten years ago would be worth now, the key data points are:
- Netflix stock price around September 25, 2015: approximately $102.24 per share (closing price on that date).
- Netflix stock price around recent date (September 2025): approximately $1,204 per share.
Using these prices:
- Number of shares bought in 2015 with $1,000 = $1,000 / $102.24 ≈ 9.78 shares
- Value of those shares in 2025 = 9.78 shares × $1,204 ≈ $11,772
So, a $1,000 investment in Netflix stock ten years ago would be worth about $11,772 today. This calculation does not account for any dividends (Netflix has had a zero dividend yield) or other factors. It only considers the stock price appreciation over the ten-year period.
